A Man Lynched at Peru for Killing
Doctor,

INDIANAPoLIs, July SIN Peru, on
Wednesday DIR. Worth was shot by man
named Christianson. The excitement on
the street of Peru during the afternoon
and evening was intense. There was free
talk of taking Christianson from the jail
and hanging him. Men stood together in
groups and the shooting of DR.. Worth and
the punishment of Christianson form ed
the sole topic of conversation. This talk
finally led to systematic preparations.
At 1916 next morning twenty-five
masked men appeared at the jail and de-
manded the keys. The demand was re-
fused and the mob broke down the large
iron bars and in fifteen minutes the pris-
oner was in their possession. He was
taken on a dead run down Broadway to
the bridge crossing the Wabash river.
He was hastily swung up the first time
without the desired effect, but the second
time his life was extinguished. He died
at 1916. The lynching was witnessed by
about 1000 people. DR.. Worth is lying
in very critical condition with the
chances against his recovery.

Mclean, Mr.. Herred says thai Mr.. B. L.
Parker, the chief engineer of the road,
gave it out that as soon as he could get
through with the work Oh which he was
engaged, which would be about the 1st
would be transferred to Minot, and work
commenced at once on branch road from
Minot to Bismarck. The contractors, D.
c. Shepherd & Co, it was stated without
secret in camp, had contract from Minot
to Bismarck. They expect to come this
way about the middle of August-per-
haps sooner.
Mr.. G. L. Hanson, the contractor with
whom Mr.. Herred was working, and who
has forty-nine teams employed, asked Mr..
Herred to stay until he (Hanson) could
get through with his contract, and that
Herred would be furnished a pass for
himself and teams to Minot, where he
could go on with Hanson in grading into
Mclean county, and he (Herred) would
be working his way home instead of los
ing time.
Mr.. Herred further says that the Riley
Bros. have fifty teams at work, and Kelly
d Flynn over hundred teams, and that
each has only one more move to make
when they expect to pull up stakes and
come direct to Minon to work on the
branch to Bismarck. Other contractors,
too, are expecting to move, some about
the middle of August, having contracts
on the Glendale line of road, from which
it would seem that work will be COM
menced at once ON both ends--from
Minot to Bismarck and from Glendale
to Bismarck

GARDNER, July 7.I[special to the
Tribunel.-On the evening of July 4 as
the coach of the Wakefield Transportation
Company was wending its way up the
river on the way from Cinnabar to Mann
moth Hot Springs it was held up by two
highwaymen at point in the road known
as Eagles nest Here the coach was
stopped and the passengers, two gentlemen
and three ladies were made to get out and
hold up their hands. They were searched
by the highwaymen and robbed OF check
for considerable sum and about $40 in
money, bat $500 in the pocket of one of
the gentlemen passengers was overlooked.
1t is deemed extremely dangerous for
the railway company to run their trains so
that tourists must taavel this piece OF
mountain road in the night time by stage.
MISSED THE BOOTY.
One Of the passengers had a large sum
of money on his person, but the highway
men after feeling in the pocket where it
was withdrew his hand without taking it.
Several other people had similar expert
ences. The robbers evidently expected to
get more money. A pistol was fired so
close to the drivers face that the powder
badly burned him. All efforts thus far to
capture them have failed. 1t is not known
who they are or from what direction they
came or whence they fed.

The mouth of Big Muddy has been

at their best in these long days to push the
end of track further into Montana. Pop

show how the route should be selected

avoid danger and damage from the high

Montana presents a prosperous outlook.
The ranges are looking fine with their
coating of grass. The mining industry
will yield larger returns this year than for
any year in the history of the territory.
Added to this the enormous sums to be ex-
pended by railroad construction, and the
influx of people to populate the territory,
is conclusive evidence that this is to be a
grand year for Montana.-Dll'om Esoaa

1t is good plan to wash horses necks
and shoulders with cold water after the
days work in spring and summer. 1t will
strengthen them and prevent lameness and
CALLING. This is especially necessary if
the horses have not done much work In
the winter and are then set to work sud
denly in spring. If horse is sick or
lame or swelled bathing will often inn
prove it. If the parts affected be cod,
then let the water be a little warm; but if
the parts be warm, let the water be cold.
Some salt dissolved in the water will add
to its efficiency.-SanF Francisco Chronicle.
